Kiss Me Not

There was a note, and she blushed while reading it.

[Goodmorning, my princess. I hope you rested well enough. I cooked you breakfast, and in case it\'s cold, just reheat them. I hate to leave you alone, but I am not sure I can let you go and meet Harry, so it\'s better I\'m not around you once you leave. Please send me a message once you wake up? I miss you and see you soon.]

She grabbed her mobile phone on the table and immediately typed and sent a message to Cain. She then started eating since she was already starving.

"Ah, everything tastes good,\' Kimmy commented as soon as she finished eating. Cain was a good cook that she might end up getting bigger if he would cook for her like this.

"It\'s like you will start living with him," she murmured as she got up to get ready to leave. She wore the clothes she used last night and just had a quick stopover to her apartment for a quick change.

In no time she arrived at the restaurant and Harry was already there waiting for her.

"Kimmy," Harry greeted her with a smile.

"Hello," Kimmy said as she sat on the chair Harry pulled for her.

"What would you like to order?" Harry asked.

Kimmy gulped because she was still full from eating a heavy breakfast Cain cooked for her.

She looked at the menu and said, "I\'ll just have some citrus lime tofu salad."

"That\'s all?" Harry asked in disbelief because he knew how Kimmy was a foodie.

"Are you on a diet, but your body looks fine already," Harry added.

Kimmy chuckled while she shook her head.

"I\'m not on a diet. I\'m just still full since I woke up late and had a heavy breakfast," Kimmy said.

"Alright, we can still buy food later once we stroll around. I heard that you guys have the best theme parks here, so I would like to see it." Harry excitedly said, then gave his order to the waiter.

"OMG, are you for real? I mean, you hated parks before!" Kimmy burst. She still could not believe Harry would like to go there first since before. She could not pull him to accompany her to an amusement park at all.

"When you left, I realized a lot of things, Kimmy. You are right. I shouldn\'t hold back or punish myself for so long because of my past. You told me to get a life because I, too, deserve to be happy, so since then, I have started doing things that I love to do and try. Like now, I am going out often… Trying things that I held myself back then. Kimmy… I…"

Harry halted so Kimmy asked, "what is it?"

Harry gave her a bashful smile and said, "I will tell it later. Right now let\'s just have fun together. I wanted to see a lot of places in your country and it\'s a good thing you are around to accompany me. A person I\'m more comfortable with rather than any tour guide."

"Hahaha. I know, right. I am the best friend you could ever find. Ah, I\'m thrilled that you are now getting out of your box Harry. Everyone deserves second chances, and no matter what you did in the past will not matter as long as you\'re willing to do good now and try your best to be a better person," Kimmy commented with a smile.

She was feeling glad to see how Harry was doing now because she recalled herself getting frustrated all the time because of Harry\'s self-punishment with the things he did in the past.

They had a great lunch while having a good conversation. Kimmy could not see an opportunity to tell Harry about her and Cain. It was not like Harry was courting her or something but more like Harry missed his bubbliness and how he was comfortable with her. So she saw nothing wrong in touring Harry around their place.

They left the restaurant and went to the well-known theme park in the capital city. Kimmy was like a kid as she excitedly walked at the entrance booth. She could no longer remember when she visited a theme park.

\'Ah, it would be nice to bring Cain here!\' she inwardly thought as she wondered if Cain would try any rides or not.

"Are you alright, Kimmy?" Harry suddenly asked when he noticed how slow Kimmy walked.

"Oh yeah, right," Kimmy whispered with an awkward smile. She forgot that she was still sore, and walking too much was a bit uncomfortable for her though she could still manage.

\'Did we overdo it?\' she thought as she continued to walk with Harry.

"What ride do you want to try first?" Kimmy asked Harry.

"Oh, how about you? What ride do you want to try first? I\'m fine with anything," Harry commented. Kimmy looked around and saw the big and slow Ferris wheel.

\'Oh, that one is better. I can sit and rest long,\' Kimmy thought as she pointed at the Ferris wheel.

"Let\'s try that one first. It\'s not good to have some extreme rides since we just ate. Later let\'s just play some games with prices on booths?" said Kimmy, and Harry nodded in agreement.

He was feeling so blissful at that moment. When Kimmy left, he felt something was missing in his life. He was not sure what it was… whether he was just used to Kimmy\'s presence or something more than that, but Harry extremely missed Kimmy\' that he had to come over to her country using the alibi of a business meeting.

They walked toward the Ferris wheel when someone called Kimmy.

"Kimmy!"

Both Harry and Kimmy turned around to see who was calling.

"Will? What are you doing here?" Kimmy burst.

"I\'m with The Queen\'s friends, touring them around…" Will commented.

"Oh," Kimmy whispered, and she greeted Mitch, who she had already met before. She gulped when she saw Cain walking towards them with Berry.

"Cain is here?" Kimmy unconsciously whispered.

"Oh yeah. I tagged him along since I saw him zoning out in the coffee shop in the palace. By the way, who is he?"

"Oh, I\'m sorry. He is Harry Cha, a friend of mine while I\'m in country D," Kimmy introduced Harry to everyone except Cain.

"He asked me to tour him around so…" Kimmy stuttered. She did not know how to continue saying her words since she was too bothered by Cain\'s intense stare at her.

"Oh, I guess you two are lovers?" Berry interrupted with a teasing tone.

"No!!!" Kimmy burst and gave Cain a quick peek. His face was dark, and Kimmy knew he was mad.

"Old lovers then?" Berri teased more.

Harry chuckled and boldly stated, "future lovers perhaps."

Kimmy choked on her own saliva that she coughed. What was going on with Harry, and since when did he become so candid like that?!

"Are you alright?" Harry asked as he gently patted Kimmy\'s back, and she quickly stopped Harry saying, "I am fine, Harry. Don\'t dare joke around like that. It\'s not funny."

"Who\'s joking? I\'m not joking Kimmy. I\'m serious. You know I never joke around," Harry answered with a firm and heavy tone.

\'OMMG! What should I do?!\' Kimmy mused, panicking. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and before Kimmy could speak, Berry said, "Ohhh. I smell romance. I think we interrupted a date here. How about we all go our separate ways. Come doctor and accompany me in trying extreme rides."

Kimmy frowned when Berry suddenly hugged Cain\'s arm and pulled him away.

"See you around," Will commented as he and Mitch quickly followed Berry and Cain.

Kimmy\'s shoulders dropped as she stared at their backs while leaving her and Harry alone.

"Let\'s go, Kimmy," Harry commented. Kimmy heaved a sigh as she walked with Harry towards the Ferris wheel. The situation was a bit complicated. She was unsure whether she was ready to open her relationship with Cain to other people. Being the center of the gossip was the last thing in her mind. If she and Cain went public, she was not sure whether she could handle the outcome.

Her runaway incident was known to many people, so if they found out that she and Cain became a couple, people would expect the continuation of the marriage that did not happen before…

Marriage.

\'Sh*t!\' Kimmy cursed because she did not know if she was ready for the big commitment and responsibilities that the word \'marriage\' weighed.

She was too consumed by her own thoughts as she and Harry were about to enter the pod, but a firm hand grabbed her wrist, stopping her from entering the pod with Harry.

"Cain," Kimmy whispered.

Cain glared at Harry and said, "I won\'t be allowing my girlfriend to hang out around you anymore, knowing you have other motives more than being friends. If you want a tour guide, then I can get you one but not my girlfriend."
